Quick update about my summer vacation schedule. I am extending my vacation by a few weeks and will be returning on Tuesday Aug. 13. I will still be doing the Bonus podcast and my regular guest spot on The Ochelli Effect. There will also be some emergency broadcasts regarding the recent arrest of Jeffrey Epstein.
A historical exploration with Michael Swanson took us from the beginning of the Twentieth Century to the Post-911 reality in money, gold, and wars flat. Patterns seem to make sense when you remember that worship of the profit for the death industry is the American reality.
Were “Concentration Camps” named correctly in the first place? Who else might have been concentrated into a camp in America’s past and in The World’s present? Woodrow Wilson was from New Jersey, but Chuck is not proud of the guy, but they used to teach kids about him NJ public schools.
Mike gives us his insight into all of this despite Chuck’s mood swings. By The Way, H. Ross Perot Died today?
Pearse Redmond does his round-up of reports and chronology on the Jeffery Epstein Saga. Has one of the rich criminals actually been dealt with? Is there more to come? How disturbing are the case and the lack of reporting that has been when we understand exactly how greasy this whole thing is?
Are high-powered scumbags going to be accountable for their crimes? Trump, Clinton, and way too many names you know are in the mix. A vast sex trafficking network and corrupt Labor Department people are simply not what rape victims need obstructing them from Justice.
Tuesdays are always informative on The Ochelli Effect.
Mike Swanson started off Tuesday’s Ochelli Effect with a discussion on markets and trends in current circumstances. Chuck answers with his idea about the Baseball Card market in the past. Are all casinos created equal? Is gold and silver the best safe bet? Are there merely gamblers running throughout the financial offers industry in search of their next grand mistake?
Chuck and Mike also discussed oil and how odd the futures and retail markets are behaving. What is the next boom? what is the next bust? Is it all a gold rush? Michael explains a lot of realities to Chuck who is way less educated on the subjects. Are we all supposed to work until we drop dead at our jobs? Whistle while you work for free and hope they’ll give you an underpaid position if you don’t drop dead in the meantime old man.
A fundamental lack of comprehension by those who are in power prevails in more trending circumstances than a populist should suffer.
Pearse Redmond is on break from his show but still doing his regular spot with us. The Iranian blame game is part of the focus on the second hour. Chuck offers speculation and outrage over the latest reality TV shows of diplomatic saber-rattling he observes. There is just too much news to cover. Is it too kind to say Trump suffers from “retardation”?
TYR’s Day is always entertaining and informative (But not always in that order) on The Ochelli Effect. There is a lot of interesting information in these two hours. Enjoy.
This is a quick audio message about the summer schedule for the next few weeks while I move apartments and take a vacation. There will be no new episodes of PPR until July 23rd. I will be recording the PPR Bonus Podcast and doing my regular guest spot on The Ochelli Effect.
This week Folie à Deux joined me to discuss Black Budget, the new comic series he wrote and illustrated. The discussion opened talking about the comic itself, which addresses mind control and MK Ultra. The history of MK Ultra and other government-sponsored programs fill the discourse and the book. We also discussed how this topic is covered in the alternative media and conspiracy culture. Later some of the hidden messages and Easter eggs throughout Black Budget are revealed. We also talked about the 1983 invasion of Grenada and the subsequent bombing of a mental hospital which some have suggested was a site of mind control experiments. Also discussed are the connections between Grenada and Jim Jones and many more real life easter eggs.
This week I am joined once again my good friend Lizzy to discuss her work in Palestine. Lizzy began by talking about her own personal journey which has led her to live and work full time in Ramallah. We discussed her work with Al Kamandjati, a non-profit which offers world-class music lessons for Palestinian children. We talked about the mission of Al Kamandjati and its founder Ramzi Aburedwan. Lizzy talked about Aburedwan’s life growing up in the Al Amari refugee camp and how this led him to create the organization. Lizzy touched on the day to day struggles that Palestinians face including night raids, checkpoints, and violence at the hands of the IDF. She talked about her own personal experiences dealing with this trauma. Lizzy and I talked about several people she knew who were murdered by the IDF and the psychological toll on the families involved. Later we discussed ways for people to get involved. Lizzy talked about the need for people to simply educate themselves about the reality of the situation. We also talked about simple ways for people to organize here in the US. Later we touched on the complacency and apathy in the US when it comes to the plight of the Palestinians, and how we can overcome this.
In the second hour, I change gears and talked about the recent news that international fixer, Trump transition team member, and convicted pedophile, George Nader, was arrested in JFK Airport for possession of child pornography. I talk about the roots of this case which stemmed from his 2018 arrest in Dulles Airport. I touched on his cooperation with Robert Mueller and the strange way he was “let go” and allowed to return to the UAE. I discussed some of the truly heinous charges against Nader. I also talked about what this may mean in the larger context of Trump World.
Mike and Chuck started the Tuesday show discussing book stores and how they have disappeared in recent years. The Amazon book store has shaped how people find things to read, despite being limitless in its offerings. While talking the two actually do searches of the site to see what happens when they look for Mike’s great book “The War State”. Your results may vary.
Mike also mentions how publishing is changing and complains a bit about how good books on the JFK Assassination do not rise to the top of many search results. A short discussion on why the Vietnam War is written about currently was also part of the discussion.
Porkins arrived in the second hour. Chuck and Pearse discussed his show the two recorded earlier in the day. Both men explain the process of growth in one experiences doing a long-standing radio show/podcast.
Both Hours provide some unique analysis of media in general along with cultural reactions in the wake of multiple evolutions.
Tuesdays are always fun, educational, and unexpected on The Ochelli Effect. News, and entertainment factory installed.
This week I addressed some editorial issues regarding the radio show and the types of guests I will not support or promote. I talked about the backlash I received for calling Ryan Dawson a “racist grifter” and why I continue to stand by that statement. I discussed my own journalistic integrity and why I will not allow myself to be tainted by right-wingers simply because they do “good research.”
In the second hour, I took a call from Dimitri who questioned my decision to have Lucien Greaves on the show and take much of what he was saying at face value. We talked about Greave’s’ problematic past which I, admittedly, did not research before when I had him on. I talked about my own reservations now about having him back on, and how this is an inevitable problem when it comes to radio journalism. Later we talked about another controversial figure that people ask me about Dr. Joylln West, whom Jon Atack knew and has talked about on the show before. I talked about the theories regarding West and the Oklahoma City Bombing and how much of that story doesn’t hold up. Chuck helps me finish off the show by talking about the problems that we face as journalists and radio hosts.
In this discussion I talked with Pearse Redmond who runs the Porkins Policy Review podcast about the wild and strange claims of QAnon and the world that those who believe in “Q” live in.
Some have gone so far to turn away from family and friends to worship Q in cult like behavior grasping on to conspiracy theories that lead to nowhere.
I linked this to similarities with something called “Operation Vampire Killer 2000” that came out around 1992 and as a document passed around in the militia movement back then. Is Q repacking this document and other theories popular in past decades? Is part of a broader cultural trend of the moment where many people believe in people like Judyth Vary Baker?
This week Jon Gold joined me once again to talk about two recent 9/11 related news stories and the varying degrees of attention they have received in the media. We started off by discussing the recent developments in the 9/11 Victims and Families lawsuit against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Jon and I discussed their latest attempts to force the FBI to reveal the name of a high ranking Saudi government official who was overseeing two Saudi operatives in the United States who provided material support to at least two of the hijackers. We talked about these operatives, Fahad al-Thumairy and Omar al Bayoumi, and their role in helping hijackers Khalid al-Mihdar and Nawaf al-Hazmi. Jon talked about the importance of this particular lawsuit and the continued emotional trauma this has had on the victims and families of 9/11.
Later we discussed the recent FOIA release of the so-called Dancing Israelis which included photocopies of a handful of the infamous photographs taken on 9/11. Jon and I talked about Urban Moving Systems and emphasis that the 9/11 Truth community puts on this particular story.
In the second hour, we continued this conversation along with researcher Adam Fitzgerald. We explored Urban Moving Systems further, talking about their possible connections to some of the hijackers. The three of us also touched on the hijackings themselves and the discrepancies and anomalies that took place that day. We also touched on how films like United 93 have colored our understanding of the event itself. We closed out the conversation by talking about the importance of 9/11 in the current geopolitical landscape, and how it goes a long way to explaining the situation we find ourselves in today.
